35 Living Room Wallpaper Ideas That Will Enhance Your Space
Wallpapering your living room is one way to take that space to the next level, no matter whether your style leans simple and neutral or you enjoy all things bold and colorful.
Wallpaper—on just one wall, all four, or on the ceiling—is always an elevated design choice since it can make a room look more complete. Below are 35 living room wallpaper ideas that are sure to turn heads.
Classic Gray Grasscloth
While many people associate wallpaper with vibrant colors and patterns, there are many options for those who prefer a more subdued look. Gray grasscloth wallpaper is a designer favorite and adds texture to the living room without being overpowering.
A Simple Backdrop
This room is another example of gray grasscloth paper, which serves an excellent backdrop for artwork and trinkets to shine.
Two-Toned Goodness
If you're a color lover, why not opt for a two-toned print like this one? The wavy blue design is eye-catching and fun and looks gorgeous with more traditional furnishings and contemporary pieces alike.
Vibrant and Energetic
Think pink! If you love the look of grasscloth but crave bright color in your living room, opt for a vibrant colorway of this type of wallpaper. Paint the fireplace surround in a corresponding hue to expertly finish off the look.
Surprise on the Ceiling
Perhaps you only wish to use a bit of wallpaper in your living room—why not take to the ceiling? Often referred to as a room's fifth wall, the ceiling is most definitely worth some attention.
Neutral and Warm
Muted colors shine in this warm living room that expertly blends together a mixture of textures and styles.
Majorly Memorable
Say hello to swirls! If a dramatic look is what you desire, look no further than a pattern like this one, which is sure to be majorly memorable.
Terrific Tile
If you love the look of tile, bring it into the living room with a tile-themed wallpaper that will have you feeling as though you're somewhere in Europe.
Beach Accents
No matter where you reside, you can bring the beach into your living room with a coastal style wallcovering like this one. The sandy hue will remind you of sunny days by the shore.
A Classic Pattern
A sweet honeycomb design is a classic choice since it's stood the test of time and is seen as a classic. Don't be shy about pairing a neutral-toned wallpaper like this one with bright greens and pinks.
Luxe Red
There's something special about red grasscloth; it adds a major touch of luxury and sophistication to any space. Here, the wallpaper looks particularly elegant when paired with beautiful Parisian-style crown molding.
Nature Inspired
Nature-themed wallpapers are everywhere as of late, and for good reason. There are so many amazing, peppy prints to choose from, and who doesn't love embracing biophilic design?
Multicolored Motif
If you can't pick a favorite color, you don't have to—simply opt for a multicolor geometric print like this one and you can bring several different hues into your space. Keep in mind that accent walls don't always have to be behind the sofa, you can style yours perpendicular to your seating area as illustrated here.
Elevated Panels
If your living room features picture frame molding, consider applying wallpaper solely within the various boxes for a luxe, romantic effect.
In the Zone
Wallpaper can be used to create zones within one larger room. By wallpapering the wall that houses your desk, you can design a mini office nook within your main living space.
Versatile Style
As stated earlier, gray grasscloth is extra popular to make a moody statement. Whether your style is grandmillennial, contemporary, or somewhere in between, note that grasscloth is ultra-versatile and can be used in many types of spaces.
Showstopping Florals
Maybe your main goal is to have your living room turn heads. If so, be sure to take cues from this showstopper, which pairs leafy blue wallpaper with a gorgeous blue ceiling and matching painted bookends.
Beautiful Branches
Nature-themed wallcoverings strike once again in this living room, which features a print comprised of beautiful branches. The sofa color plays to this scheme perfectly.
Stripes as a Staple
You can never go wrong with stripes, particularly when they're neutral in color and can play nicely with any type of sofa, accent chair, or coffee table. The pattern is a staple for a reason!
A Soft Touch
Soft purple is a color we don't often see in the living room, but it looks extremely chic in this space. The furniture items used are more modern in style, proving that you can easily juxtapose traditional patterns with 21st-century finds.
Outdoor Elements
If a calming living room speaks to you, be sure to draw inspiration from this green wallpaper, which truly brings the outdoors in (and how cute are the birds?).
Blue, White, and Beyond
Everyone loves blue and white! Keep in mind that the two hues can be spiced up with the addition of reds, pinks, and greens if you wish to infuse a bit more color into your space.
Gorgeous Butterflies
Butterfly designs aren't just for kids—how delightful is this whimsical wallpaper and the accompanying colorful sofa? Bring on the bright hues.
Just Like a Mural
If you've always longed for a mural in your home, a wallpaper design like this one is the next best thing. You can achieve an effect similar to what you would by commissioning a hand painted illustration.
Statement Ceiling
When wallpapering the ceiling, you will want to ensure that the paper you choose is consistent with your room's aesthetic. A simple grasscloth is ideal for a coastal-style living room like the one shown here, and it plays up the coffered ceiling.
Unexpected Combos
Mixing patterns is always fair game, and we love the combo of a geometric wallpaper print alongside a plush striped chair and dotted accent pillows.
Pops of Red
To prevent a room rooted in beiges from feeling bland, be sure to artfully weave in more colorful accessories that will add personality to your space. Curtains with red trim, peppy throw pillows, lamp bases, and florals are all great pieces to incorporate.
Whimsical Wonder
This artful print is sure to make your imagination run wild. It's a must have for the person who doesn't take their home too seriously.
Elevated Dots
Dotted designs aren't just for playrooms and kids' spaces, they can look grown up in the living room when styled along with solid-colored furnishings and pieces of modern art.
Red Textures
This living room is the epitome of glam, all thanks to its loud wallpaper, velvet, and leopard textiles, and stylish array of accents. It's a top-notch place to host a party.
Playful Yet Mature
Once again, a more playful print appears grown up in the living room when grouped with a classic brass floor lamp, a striped accent chair, and a simple gray sofa.
Peacock Pizzazz
If you're looking for a pattern that's unique and full of life, opt for a peacock print like this one. It's glam and elegant at the same time, and it's a no-fail option for any color lover.
Calm and Simple
A blue and white living room like this one is instantly comforting and proves that patterns can still be styled in a way that feels minimalistic, not busy.
Cheerful Yellow
Brighten up your living room with yellow wallpaper, which will surely bring a smile to your face every time you see it.
